Etymology

From Middle English persoun, personne et al., from Anglo-Norman parsone, persoun et al. (Old French persone (“human being”), French personne), and its source Latin persōna (“mask used by actor; role, part, character”), perhaps a loanword from Etruscan 𐌘𐌄𐌓𐌔𐌖 (φersu, “mask”). Displaced native wight (from Old English wiht (“person, human being”)). Doublet of parson and persona.

Noun (Usage notes)

The German word is used chiefly when the identity of the person is either unknown or irrelevant (as in “somebody”, “anybody”). Otherwise Mensch is preferred in many contexts. For example, one would say Sie ist ein netter Mensch. (“She’s a nice person.”) Person would sound odd in this sentence.
